It's comedy. They publicly insults the bulk of their customer base and then cry about how unfair they're being treated. They are country musicians that want to be political commentators, and their fans have opposite views. First rule of marketing is know your target. To prove how important they think their political message is they claimed they're above appearing on the View. As a radio station trying to make money, if people complain they want music not politics than you oblige.
